Army Values
Pfc Jorden Green E Tab 139th Fa August 2, 2013 LOYALTY
Loyalty to me is being faithful and being trustworthy to yourself, your family, and your team. Loyalty “Bear true faith and allegiance to the U.S. constitution, the Army, and other Soldiers.” Duty “Fulfill your obligations.” Respect “Treat people as they should be treated.” Selfless Service “Put the welfare of the nation, the Army and your subordinates above your own.” Honor “Live up to the army values.” Integrity “Do what’s right legally and morally.” and Personal Courage “Face fear, danger or adversity physical or moral.” We are all drilled on these 7 army values from the very first day of basic training and throughout our Army career. First we commit them to memory, then we learn to live by them in every aspect of our life, personally and professionally. I define loyalty as the willingness of a person to sacrifice at their own personal expense in order to protect, uphold, defend and edify those persons, ideals and or things which they cherish most. The amount of loyalty that a person feels towards someone or something determines how much they are willing to sacrifice for them. As in the loyalty I have towards my wife and children. The missed holidays, birthdays, anniversaries, first days of school and all the other family events that we miss that will be worthwhile in the end no matter how bleak the outcome may look in the present is what allows the America we know today to continue to grow and prosper as our ancestors hoped. As a Soldier, we are called upon to
